Study probes why IBD meds work better for some groups
NCT ID NCT06266663
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study surveys 400 adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from two medical centers to understand how social factors like insurance, income, and support affect medication adherence and quality of life. Researchers focus on Hispanic and Black patients, who often have worse outcomes than white patients. The goal is to find modifiable social barriers that can be targeted in future interventions to promote health equity.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could identify social factors that help explain why some racial/ethnic groups with IBD have worse outcomes, pointing toward ways to improve care and health equity.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational survey, not a treatment trial. It will not directly change outcomes, and findings may not apply to all populations or settings.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
All patients age 18 years or older with IBD who meet the above inclusion/exclusion criteria will be eligible to participate in the study. Participants will be grouped by race and ethnicity (Hispanic, Non-Hispanic Black, or Non-Hispanic White). Participants who identify as Hispanic will be further grouped by preferred language (English or Spanish). Participants will also be grouped into either public (e.g. Medicaid, Medicare) or private insurance. The study team plans to recruit 25 participants per cell: race and ethnicity (4), study site (2), insurance (2). Target recruitment is 200 participants per site for a total of 400 participants.
